Scholastic published the story the following year, in 1963.Ĭlifford is a giant, friendly red dog who is owned by a young girl named Emily Elizabeth, with whom he lives in New York City. Emily Elizabeth is named after Bridwell's daughter of the same name. His wife, Norma, suggested he name the dog "Clifford" after her imaginary friend from her childhood. Bridwell then developed a story around the dog and his owner, which he would eventually submit to Scholastic.

In 1962, Bridwell included paintings of Clifford, (who was named ‘Tiny’ at the time) in a portfolio of children's book illustrations. He is the official mascot of Scholastic Corporation.Ĭlifford is based on and inspired by Norman Bridwell's childhood desire for a dog the size of a horse.
